Platinum series reissue Insecticons and Coneheads

[BigTransformerTrev]

I already have all 6 characters from back in the day, but with the exception of Ramjet they are all missing odd bits and pieces so depending on the price I might pick both sets up.

I'd only be buying this for Thrust, so if any Sydney members are after the other two, let me know and we'll sort something out

The Insecticon set has been found at American retail, for US$80!!!
The Reissue Insecticons that Hasbro released about 7 years ago was only US$35, so it has more than doubled in price, mostly because it is in a bigger box.
That's going to mean about AU$150 here, if we get it here.

Also odd is that it was found at Kmart in America, which is not known for expensive exclusives as they are more of a discount store... and has gone through a lot of downsizing of stores and inventory in recent years due to almost going bankrupt during the GFC.

I have always wanted a nice minty set of insecticons but that price (even the US one) is crazy, they are small and simple. the artwork is beautiful but it's free for Hasbro most likely as it's straight from the DeNA game.

I shudder to think what the price of the conehead pack is going to be...

[UltraMarginal]

yea, they're bigger but just as simple. The artwork should be well displayed on the front of the box though, it'll be nearly A3

I shudder to think what the price of the conehead pack is going to be...

It's still going to be cheaper than an ehobby thrust
